On a second look I wondered about "Still Lives." Did you mean to tell us that you live still? Or is it a reference to the photos --- plural of "Still Life?" Just curious! Either way it makes for lovely reading....

You make the cold sound so beautiful! You've convinced me to get out for my morning walk. I've been holding off because it's way down in the upper 20's! :) No beauty like this (no snow or ice) but you reminded me I'll find some if I open my eyes. Thank you!
